RegeditEx

RegeditEx is a handy tool designed to help you browse and edit registry files in order to tweak your computer. The program can be used to edit the content of registry files by creating keys and string values.

The Windows registry includes all the configuration parameters for the installed software and operating system. Although most settings should be adjusted from the Windows interface, there are several tweaks that can only be made by directly editing the registry keys.

Although all Windows include the Registry Editor tool which enables you to access and edit the key values, there are multiple applications designed to provide you with additional features. This app is a Java-based alternative capable of accessing the registry files and exported keys.

The main advantage of this tool is the ability to run on multiple platforms, such as Linux or Macintosh in order to edit the registry items. It allows you to explore the key structure from other computers and not only the host system.

Basically, the application can load hive files and display their content in order to make changes. You can easily delete keys, modify their values and rename them in order to make the required modifications.

When you want to create new strings, this program enables you to add expandable, DWORD and binary values with just a few clicks. Although it does not include a menu bar, these options can be accessed from the context menu.

If you make changes and want to save them to the edited file, you need you click the Commit Now button. Unfortunately, it does not include the option to create a new hive file or save the modifications under a different name.

Unlike similar tools, the program does not include a search function which makes it difficult to find keys in large files.

Overall, RegeditEx is an easy to use application that enables you to explore and edit registry hive files.
